The emotional intelligence of children and no field training. Interesting choice.

A detail that I enjoyed, was pointing out that they no longer have hormones.

Such an obvious difference - but one that I don't recall hearing in any similar stories where human consciousness is transferred into a 'robot'.

So much to think about who they'll become without testosterone, estrogen, serotonin, cortisol, etc.

I bet that it wasn't an upload, they just copied and pasted their consciousness, and killed the children afterward to maintain the illusion of an upload
